Ladies and Gentlemen. Good afternoon. It is a great honor to be here today. I would like to thank Jeff and Joe for inviting me to this summit.Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked his audience, “ if there is any period one would desire to be born in., is it not the age of revolution when the old and the new stand side by side, when the energies of all men are searched by fear and the hope, when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of of the new?”We too live in the age of revolution – with the globalization, collapse of three economies in succession in last 10 years – DotCommunism, followed by Housing, Finance, Insurance, and Banking industries all turned into rubbles due to the shakeout caused by fear and greed. As we emerge from these, we stand in the middle of new and old side by side, amidst the fear and hope, and glories of past and rich possibilities of new hopes and horizons.Dramatic emergence and dominance of globalization and hybrid organization driven by rapid change, competition, and new non-market environment emerging on us from all side. Next century is not going to be the same as before. Yesterday’s leaders may vanish tomorrow. I wanted to take this time to set the stage for all of us to think differently and see with an alien eye what are the new possibilities and opportunities in store for all us. How to set the stage to shape the future.

A computer can remember billions or even trillions of facts perfectly while we are hard pressed to remember a handful of phone numbers. A computer can quickly search a database with billions of records in fractions of a second. Computers can readily share their knowledge bases. The combination of human-level intelligence in a machine with a computer&apos;s inherent superiority in the speed, accuracy, and sharing ability of its memory will be formidable.

Cloud Computing enables companies to invest their resources in improving/streamlining their customer facing business processes and eliminate or reduce costly infrastructure plumbing. This shift from infrastructure operational innovation to business process innovation enables customer-driven innovation creating new avenues for growth and new business opportunities.

Economic ClimateThe economic climate has caused many organizations to revisit base assumptions, such as how long to hold on to servers, how many vendors to work with for a given platform/operating environment, and how to best-utilize personnel and deal with skill shortages. Aging IT infrastructures have forced many organizations to rethink traditional, incremental technology improvement programs, and to focus instead on a holistic IT modernization program(c) 2003-2010 Optena Corp.20

CountertrendHow will the competitive landscape evolve for server operating systems (OSs)Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux and z/OS? New technologies, new modes of computing, and infrastructure virtualization and automation are changing the architecture and role of the OS. VMs will become the norm on the server, with increased use on the client as well, creating a new control point below the OS. Appliances — based on a VM architecture — will make modular/customized (lightweight) OSs interesting and useful.(c) 2003-2010 Optena Corp.45
